Lost

You fall like a feather to the ground 
I can no longer blame the wind 
For your change in direction
You slip through my fingers
Each time I reach out
The wind takes you
You're willing
You are
Lost

Ink Empress Date: 12/21/2023 8:20:00 AM Dear Jessica, i bet this is the first time im reading your work, and i absolutely loved your nonet. The flow and depth and how you’ve written “ I can no longer blame the wind For your change in direction” soul hitting line really! And “ Each time I reach out The wind takes you” i felt that!

Shane Thacker Date: 6/2/2023 6:15:00 PM This is a beautiful Nonet, Jessica. I especially love the line "I can no longer blame the wind". The first poem I submitted here was a nonet, so I am particularly fond of them. Welcome to PoetrySoup! Login to Reply
